Happy April Fool’s Day

April 1st, 2007 · 3 Comments

Well, judging by the small number of comments and e-mail in response to this little prank, I’m guessing few were fooled. I’ll have to work extra hard to fool Eat Vancouver’s savvy readers next year. And thanks to the folks at DonRockwell.com, from whom I borrowed this prank.

Just received this email from a close friend. This is going to be first-come first-served, and everyone will have until Tuesday at Noon to reply. No partial lots. Just leave a comment on this post to claim. I’d buy most of these myself if I wasn’t short on cash. Cheers, and have at it.

    When you list “XXX Wine” $X Price X Bottles , is the price for all the bottles or each bottle?

    that’s the price per bottle.
